Terborg is a small village in the region of East Frisia, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

Located on the north bank of the river Ems, Terborg is approximately 8 kilometers to the northwest of Leer.

Petra Spekker does not consider this explanation to be unlikely, as Terborg was also referred to as Ferstenborg, which means "foremost castle".

[2] Terborg probably arose around 1000 AD as a farming and fishing village on a warft on the Ems.

In contrast to its neighboring villages Oldersum and Neermoor, Terborg never developed into an important place.
